Breaking Updates SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule to return Boeing Starliner crew to Earth A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule will now bring home NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been aboard the International Space Station for about 80 days due to ongoing issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. The Starliner, which had previously transported the astronauts to the station, faced problems with helium leaks and malfunctioning thrusters during its test flight. Despite Boeing's earlier assurances, NASA decided to use the Crew Dragon for the return mission due to uncertainties about the Starliner's safety. The Crew Dragon will be reconfigured to accommodate Williams and Wilmore, resulting in a delayed return for them, possibly until February 2025. The Starliner will make an uncrewed return trip, which, if successful, could lead to its eventual certification for routine human flights. However, the spacecraft’s rocky development path, including previous test failures and ongoing technical issues, raises doubts about its future. NASA's decision underscores the risks and challenges of spaceflight and highlights the agency's contingency planning. Despite Boeing’s continued focus on safety, the Starliner program has been plagued by delays and cost overruns, leading to concerns about whether it will ultimately meet certification standards. The situation reflects broader challenges in space program management and the high stakes involved in ensuring reliable crewed space missions.
